Fuel filters are installed in the transom area of the
boat. The filters are the water separator type and
there is one filter for each engine fuel line. Each
fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should be
checked for water frequently to assure an adequate
supply of clean, dry fuel to the engines. It is
recommended that the filters are inspected periodi-
cally and the elements changed as needed.
3.3 Generator Fuel System (Optional)
The fuel system for the optional generator is supplied by a separate fuel withdrawal tube in one of
the main fuel tanks. The generator withdrawal tube is slightly shorter than the main engine tubes
to prevent the generator from consuming reserve fuel when the tank is low. Consequently, the
generator will run out fuel before the main engines.
The generator fuel withdrawal is equipped with an “ON/ OFF” valve located on the top of the fuel
tank below the inspection plate in the rear of the cockpit. The valve is off when the handle is
perpendicular to the fuel flow. An anti- siphon valve near the withdrawal tube prevents gasoline
from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
A water separator type fuel filter is installed near the generator. The fuel filter has a sediment bowl
that should be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the
engine. The filter should be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.
